British Hoverflies (Stubbs & Falk)

Hoverflies are beautiful insects that can be found in every garden. Some resemble wasps in black and yellow, others are furry like bumblebees or brown like honeybees. This book was first published in 1983 and rapidly gained an excellent reputation for enabling these attractive flies to be identified more easily and accurately than before. The revised edition now includes keys with illustrations, and contains all 276 species that are known for Britain. With colour plates and drawings.
